How consultants use BTLS
Built for the work you already do with clients
BTLS was designed as a business tool first. It is practical, non-psychometric and easy to explain in a room full of managers.
Coaching at all levels
Use it as an easy to use tool to guide others for better coaching at all levels.
Team building
Run the group profile in a session. It is a great team building exercise, and people leave knowing how to work with each other.
The golden thread
One profile that runs through all your learning programmes
Participants complete BTLS once. You refer back to the same five styles in every module, so the learning builds instead of starting over.
Leadership
Each leader sees their approach to leadership and learns to adapt it to the people they lead.
Inter-personal skills
Understand why colleagues react differently, and close the gap before it becomes conflict.
Better communication skills
Lead with the point for an Analytical listener, the purpose for a Big Picture one.
Better emails
Write for the reader's preference: steps and dates for one, the people impact for another.
Negotiation skills
Read what the other side values, and frame your offer in the way they prefer to decide.
Creative problem-solving
Use every style on purpose: facts, plan, big picture, people and new ideas.
A typical workshop
From client code to action plan
A simple flow you can run in half a day or spread over a programme.
Before the session
Participants join with the client's company code and complete the questionnaire. It takes about 20 minutes.
Personal profiles
Everyone reads their own report and "Work with me" card. No right or wrong answers, only preferences.
The group profile
Show the team mix and what it means. A great team building exercise, and often the moment the room laughs in recognition.
Agree how to work
Use team tips and pair tips to agree on meetings, feedback and decisions. Take it back to the job.
Client and company codes
A code for every client, a clear view of every group
Each client gets its own organisation in BTLS, with teams and a company code. Participants join with the code or a QR code on the slide, create their own login and complete the questionnaire.
- Separate organisations keep each client's results apart
- See who has completed before the session starts
- Group summaries for Thinking, Work, Needs, Leadership and Coaching

- Actively involved, Collaborative, Passively involved or Directive
- Approach to Leadership for every manager you coach
- Needs profile: what each person needs around them

Coaching tip: Lerato leads with Innovation. Recognise the idea first, then talk about what would make it work.
I have been using the BTLS with great success to date to improve teams to build optimal relationships through improved understanding of one another. With an improved understanding of the needs of each team member's brain, people are able to adapt their approaches to communication. Not only does it improve communication, but also how team members are utilised according to the strengths and preferences of their brain. This approach yielded significant improvements in productivity.
